A27122	A briefe declaration to all the vvorld from the innocent people of God called Quakers of our principle and beleif [sic] concerning plottings and fightings with carnal weapons against any people, men or nations upon the earth ... and to answer that common objection whether we would not fight if the Spirit moved us.

work_n the_o author_n and_o ground_n of_o strife_n war_n and_o confusion_n and_o to_o guide_v the_o foot_n of_o all_o people_n in_o the_o way_n of_o peace_n so_o this_o be_v our_o principle_n not_o as_o a_o opinion_n or_o judgement_n which_o may_v fail_v we_o or_o in_o which_o may_v be_v mistake_v or_o doubt_n but_o it_o be_v the_o infallible_a ground_n &_o unchangeable_a foundation_n of_o our_o religion_n that_o be_v to_o say_v christ_n jesus_n the_o lord_n that_o spirit_n divine_a nature_n of_o way_n of_o life_n which_o god_n have_v raise_v and_o renew_v in_o we_o in_o which_o we_o walk_v and_o in_o who_o we_o delight_v to_o dwell_v and_o can_v but_o worship_n and_o yield_v obedience_n unto_o even_o he_o which_o destroy_v all_o enmity_n and_o reconcile_v to_o himself_o and_o in_o

strife_n and_o war_n and_o exalt_v truth_n and_o righteousness_n in_o the_o earth_n even_o his_o kingdom_n over_o all_o which_o be_v a_o everlasting_a kingdom_n of_o peace_n into_o which_o no_o

who_o robe_n be_v wash_v white_a in_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o lamb._n so_o that_o if_o any_o be_v yet_o doubtful_a concern_v we_o or_o our_o principle_n in_o this_o particular_a whether_o we_o have_v any_o secret_a intent_n or_o private_a reservation_n that_o if_o we_o have_v opportunity_n we_o will_v fight_v or_o raise_v outward_a force_n of_o the_o arm_n of_o flesh_n for_o our_o defence_n or_o preservation_n and_o not_o any_o long_o suffer_v such_o grievous_a oppression_n and_o cruel_a provocation_n as_o these_o many_o year_n past_a we_o have_v undergo_v with_o patience_n etc._n etc._n this_o we_o do_v declare_v and_o that_o in_o and_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o we_o be_v in_o our_o measure_n redeem_v by_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n the_o lamb_n of_o god_n that_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n and_o reconcile_v unto_o he_o and_o to_o all_o man_n from_o that_o nature_n and_o spirit_n of_o enmity_n from_o whence_o the_o war_n and_o fight_n come_v and_o we_o be_v teach_v lead_v and_o guide_v by_o and_o be_v possessor_n of_o a_o measure_n of_o the_o same_o spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o truth_n that_o be_v in_o that_o person_n christ_n our_o elder_a brother_n that_o suffer_v patient_o the_o contradiction_n and_o false_a accusation_n of_o sinner_n as_o a_o lamb_n without_o the_o gate_n of_o jerusalem_n of_o who_o resurrection_n and_o life_n we_o be_v eye_n witness_n even_o of_o his_o majesty_n and_o glory_n and_o the_o come_n of_o his_o kingdom_n with_o power_n full_a of_o grace_n and_o truth_n so_o that_o the_o tree_n be_v now_o make_v good_a the_o fruit_n be_v the_o same_o also_o and_o a_o good_a tree_n can_v bring_v forth_o evil_a fruit_n to_o wit_n wickedness_n enmity_n mischief_n or_o violence_n against_o any_o of_o the_o child_n of_o man_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o we_o have_v not_o only_o the_o name_n or_o outward_a profession_n of_o christ_n in_o word_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o world_n but_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o a_o measure_n of_o the_o same_o divine_a nature_n and_o we_o be_v now_o be_v regenerate_v raise_v and_o renew_v into_o his_o own_o image_n of_o truth_n and_o love_n righteousness_n and_o peace_n his_o offspring_n and_o he_o be_v our_o god_n and_o father_n who_o rebuke_n the_o strong_a nation_n and_o make_v war_n to_o cease_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n glory_n and_o honour_n be_v to_o he_o in_o the_o high_a over_o all_o for_o ever_o and_o now_o as_o concern_v the_o objection_n which_o sometime_o have_v be_v ask_v as_o a_o

of_o god_n in_o the_o truth_n and_o simplicity_n of_o our_o heart_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n that_o we_o do_v real_o and_o confident_o believe_v that_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n who_o be_v that_o good_a spirit_n that_o guide_v we_o in_o all_o truth_n will_v never_o move_v we_o to_o do_v that_o or_o those_o thing_n again_o for_o which_o he_o have_v rebuke_v we_o and_o smite_v we_o by_o his_o righteous_a judgement_n and_o for_o which_o he_o will_v smite_v and_o rebuke_v the_o strong_a nation_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o have_v redeem_v we_o from_o the_o very_a root_n nature_n spirit_n and_o ground_n of_o the_o enmity_n and_o curse_n from_o whence_o the_o war_n and_o the_o fight_n come_v so_o that_o to_o we_o it_o seem_v as_o impossible_a for_o we_o to_o be_v find_v in_o such_o thing_n plotting_n fight_n and_o violence_n as_o for_o a_o good_a tree_n to_o bring_v forth_o evil_a fruit_n or_o for_o one_o fountain_n to_o yield_v salt_n water_n and_o fresh_a for_o we_o have_v feel_v god_n rebuke_n because_o of_o that_o strong_a nature_n that_o dwell_v in_o we_o from_o whence_o envy_n pride_n wrath_n malice_n and_o hartburning_n one_o against_o another_o spring_v and_o all_o manner_n of_o evil_a thought_n which_o defile_v man_n proceed_v the_o which_o rebuke_n reproof_n and_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n have_v melt_v and_o break_v our_o heart_n and_o take_v out_o the_o stone_n the_o hardness_n and_o make_v they_o soft_a and_o tender_a towards_o god_n and_o towards_o all_o people_n and_o that_o love_n be_v now_o feel_v shed_v abroad_o in_o our_o heart_n which_o

we_o be_v as_o stranger_n in_o it_o as_o all_o our_o father_n be_v for_o if_o it_o have_v be_v so_o we_o will_v long_o ere_o this_o have_v plot_v and_o contrive_v to_o defend_v and_o preserve_v ourselves_o from_o these_o many_o great_a and_o cruel_a suffering_n which_o we_o these_o many_o year_n with_o patience_n have_v bear_v and_o endure_v and_o shall_v yet_o bear_v and_o endure_v all_o thing_n in_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o love_n and_o charity_n which_o the_o holy_a god_n of_o all_o power_n have_v endue_v we_o with_o and_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o commit_v our_o cause_n and_o

now_o if_o any_o subtlety_n of_o the_o serpent_n shall_v arise_v in_o any_o and_o boast_v itself_o over_o we_o because_o we_o have_v declare_v the_o nakedness_n of_o our_o heart_n in_o simplicity_n
